Feminine Gospels Summary

Feminine Gospels by Carol Ann Duffy, DBE

In Feminine Gospels, Carol Ann Duffy draws on women's experience - both personal and historical - to entertain and challenge through poems which celebrate, elegise and eroticise the female condition. With an architecture of longer poems on beauty, identity and the physical, Feminine Gospels tells tall stories as though they were gospel truth and, in so doing, provides a wildly original successor to Duffy's previous best-selling collections, Mean Time and The World's Wife. Praise for Carol Ann Duffy include: 'In the world of British poetry, Carol Ann Duffy is a superstar' - Guardian. 'Duffy's poems are at once accessible and brilliantly idiosyncratic and subtle' - Observer.
